biggbn

someone on another site made an interesting ppoint re:mx5....the badge, although it certainlty hasnt harmed these cars huge international sales or almost universal acclaim, probably did harm its 'image' and desireability amongst more traditional petrolheads....

these days tho, many seem to be bought as weekend playthings or track cars by just the sort of people who shunned 'em when they were new....

if the mx5 had been produced by fiat or alfa, would it have been such a big seller???.....i doubt it, regardless of how good it is.....but it may have had the very people who never bought it waxing lyrical about the car from the get go....
